    Forum - Work and Money

    Why do so many people devote so much of their lives to work, and seem to get so little enjoyment or reward in return? It doesn’t seem to make a great deal of sense. Surveys show that many people, perhaps a majority, feel dissatisfied with some major aspect of their working lives. It may be lack of satisfaction, too little free time, too little reward, or work that bores and frustrates them. www.lifehack.com

    Friendship is the cooperative and supportive relationship between two or more people. Friends will welcome each other's company. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as the exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship.
